In his letter to employees, Friedman argues that while GitHub, and Microsoft itself, have taken a stand against administration policies like family separation at the border, the Muslim travel ban, and the dismantling of the DACA program, it would set a bad precedent to close the door to doing business with ICE.
He says that while ICE enforces the immigration policies that GitHub opposes, it also helps stop human trafficking — a cause that the company supports. In that light, he says, it would be folly to stop working with the agency, and supporting it in that sort of mission.believes the best way to advocate for or against policies to support is to use its "corporate voice, and not to unplug technology services when government customers use them to do things to which we object.
"My hope is that we can be an organization that works hard to make principle-based decisions, that regularly reflects on and remains willing to refine its principles, and that recognizes the inevitability of interpersonal disagreement around those principles and challenges that constructively," Friedman wrote.
RAICES, the prominent immigration nonprofit supporting action at the border, has also chimed in, urging action from GitHub employees: "We're asking you on behalf of all the immigrants ICE has terrorized to protest the hell out of this," RAICES said in a tweet.
